Unlike recliners that are built with a two- or three-piece seat and leg rest cushion, this recliner has a single chaise cushion that extends from the seat to the feet. This style offers a fuller comfort and support for your legs, as well as eliminating the open gap that toddlers can get fingers or toys stuck in.

Available in wall or power recline varieties, a bonded leather/vinyl match recliner brings the comfort of motion features to any room in your home.

Miley Cyrus has found a new party pal in reformed wild child Lindsay Lohan.
The two former Disney child stars were spotted hanging out together at a New York City club early on Sunday (27Oct13), according to multiple reports.
Eye witnesses at the club tell Us Weekly magazine, 27-year-old Lohan, who has been keeping a low profile since she walked out of a California rehab facility after serving a court-ordered 90-day treatment stint for substance abuse issues, stopped by Cyrus' table for a chat with the 20 year old and ended up sitting with her and then leaving the club with the pop star.
Cyrus showed up at the club after making a brief appearance on TV show Saturday Night Live to announce her upcoming tour.

AUSTIN, Texas (Reuters) - The FBI is looking for possible links between the execution-style slaying of a Texas prosecutor in January and the killing of the Colorado prisons chief earlier this week, a Texas police official said on Friday.
Texas prosecutor Mark Hasse was slain on January 31 by a masked, black-clad gunman as he walked to his car in Kaufman, Texas, and Colorado prison chief Tom Clements was killed in El Paso, County, Colorado on Tuesday.
"The Dallas and Denver offices of the Federal Bureau of Investigation are comparing the homicides of Mark Hasse and Tom Clements to determine if there is any evidence linking the two crimes," Kaufman Police Chief Chris Aulbaugh said.
Aulbaugh said the probe was routine and that if any link is found it would be released to the public.

Friends form bands all the time, but not all bands are formed with the intention of sending a message. However, a group of Hudson County college-aged kids are forming a band for that exact reason.
SpecktruM is a group of three Stevens Institute of Technology students and their friend from Jersey City who have come together to work alongside famed Stevens professor and musical producer David Musial to create music that's not only catchy, but is also being played to send encouraging messages to listeners.
"We know there's a lot of bad things going on in the world, but we can try to lighten things up with some good music." – Brady Cudmore, vocalist
Meet the band
Ben Clifford plays guitar and sings, and is from Buffalo, N.Y. Clifford is a senior at Stevens who majors in music and technology, and has played in over 250 live shows.
Nick Catania plays the keyboard, sings, and is a junior at Stevens. He is on track to graduate next May with a degree in music and technology as well as engineering physics. Catania is also the president of the school's student government.
Cliff Hults plays bass, has one more year left at Stevens, and loves to volunteer his time playing music for kids.
Brady Cudmore is an up and coming pop star from Canada who has performed with the other members of the band for years, and has made a name for himself on the pop circuit. Cudmore, who lives in Jersey City, is the lead vocalist, and also plays drums and guitar.
The band's new song, Humanity, was chosen as the theme for an upcoming charity event for Hopeline and 1-800-SUICIDE, a suicide prevention organization. Bands such as Third Eye Blind and Good Charlotte will also perform at the festival, and SpecktruM has been given a 45-minute set at the concert.
"What struck me about this band when we first started with the humanity angle is that I had just recently lost a buddy of mine in Afghanistan in the Army Rangers," Hults said. "I heard the direction this group was going in and I said I needed to do this, in his memory."
Sgt. Ronald Kubik was killed in action last June, and last week the band even discussed the possibility of dedicating a song to his memory.
The band mostly plays shows in the Hudson County area, on campus and in places like Maxwell's.
Being a student in Hoboken and a band member can be difficult.
"Most of our shows are in Hoboken, and we have to rent cabs as it is to move our stuff around," Clifford said.
Regardless, he says he very much enjoys his time performing.
"I don't think of this as work," Clifford said. "I think of it as my fun time."
Clifford added that it was Musial, who has done extensive work with music and positive messages, and is also an Emmy recipient, that influenced their positive messages.
"When you're able to hit someone right at home with a good message, music is extraordinarily powerful," Hults said last week. "If you have a positive message you can really reach people in a good way."
Cudmore has performed at the Pentagon, Disney World, and in places where the crowd totals can sometimes exceed 10,000 fans. He said he believes all members of the band have "raw talent."
"We're all friends, first and foremost," Cudmore said. "And we all have the same mission. We know there's a lot of bad things going on in the world, but we can try to lighten things up with some good music."
Cudmore has performed with members of the band locally in schools, including in Jersey City.
The band's long-term goal is, of course, "to make it big."
"Twenty years from now we still may be seeing shows from SpecktruM," Musial said.
Cudmore said: "I hope so."
Even if the band doesn't make it to the 'American Top 40' countdown charts, they're still focused on their goals.
"I would love to play and make it big, but even if we're just doing charity work, I just love performing," Hults said. "There's nothing better than being on stage."
The group was recently offered the possibility of a 40-city tour in connection with the Hopeline event.
"We know we can do this," Catania said. "We're all anxious to get our message out there because we know we can be successful. We know we can send a strong message because we're all motivated and driven."
All proceeds for their song "Humanity" will go to the charities associated with Hopeline, the suicide prevention organization, and is also the theme to a "Woodstock-like event" on Memorial Day weekend in Mountain Creek, "Festival for Humanity."

An exhaustive search for government records assessing the impact of the WikiLeaks disclosures could delay the court-martial of the Army private charged with causing the biggest intelligence leak in U.S. history, a military judge said Wednesday.
With the defense accusing prosecutors of sitting on evidence potentially favorable to Pfc. Bradley Manning, the judge indicated she would consider his lawyers' request for a stay of proceedings. The trial is set to begin Sept. 21.
"The court is certainly willing to entertain any good-cause motions for continuance," Col. Denise Lind said from the bench during a pretrial hearing at Fort Meade that is scheduled to continue through Friday.
Lind didn't say when she would rule on the defense motion.
Manning, a 24-year-old Crescent, Okla., native, is charged with knowingly aiding al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula by allegedly causing hundreds of thousands of classified war logs, video clips and diplomatic cables to be published on the secret-sharing website WikiLeaks. Authorities say he downloaded the files from a Defense Department network while working as an intelligence analyst in Baghdad in 2009 and 2010.
Manning's lawyers are seeking dismissal of 10 of the 22 charges he faces.
Wednesday's debate focused in part on an FBI "impact assessment" that prosecutors first mentioned in a May 31 court filing. Lead Prosecutor Maj. Ashden Fein said prosecutors have already given the defense nearly 9,000 pages of FBI investigative records and a draft State Department assessment of the effects of the WikiLeaks disclosures on U.S. foreign relations.
Lind grilled lead prosecutor Maj. Ashden Fein most of the afternoon about whether his team is meeting its obligation to disclose any evidence it uncovers that could aid in the preparation of Manning's defense.
Defense attorneys have been battling for months for access to hundreds of thousands of pages of evidence that they say could help Manning's side. They say the documents they have been given by prosecutors are sometimes heavily redacted and virtually useless.
Lind didn't buy Fein's argument that with nearly 450,000 pages of such records already in their possession, Manning's lawyers are trying to delay the trial by making overly broad requests for documents. She questioned Fein sternly about how he would handle any defense-friendly information in some Defense Intelligence Agency records prosecutors are reviewing.
"Is the government going to look at this with an eye to the defense counsel?" she asked.
"We absolutely will, your honor," Fein replied.
"Are you going to hold onto it until they request it?"
"No, your honor, we will not," Fein said.
The defense is also seeking records from the CIA, the Justice Department, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and several other civilian and military agencies. Lead defense attorney David Coombs maintains that the classified damage assessments probably concluded the leaks attributed to Manning did little damage to national security or U.S. interests.
None of damage assessments has been publicly released.
The material Manning is suspected of leaking includes hundreds of thousands of sensitive reports on foreign governments and leaders, Iraq and Afghanistan war logs and a 2007 video clip of a U.S. helicopter crew gunning down 11 men later found to include a Reuters news photographer and his driver. As for the video clip, the Pentagon concluded the troops acted appropriately, having mistaken the camera equipment for weapons.
The U.S. government claimed the disclosures endangered lives and security. Manning supporters say the leaks exposed war crimes and triggered pro-democracy uprisings in the Middle East.

JACKSON, Miss. --Fried chicken chain KFC said a franchised restaurant in Mississippi has hired an investigator to look into claims that an employee asked a 3-year-old girl and family members to leave because injuries she suffered in a pit bull mauling disturbed customers.
KFC spokesman Rick Maynard said the company is concerned that the Jackson restaurant's internal investigation couldn't verify the incident. An outside investigator has completed the investigation and the company is awaiting the report, Maynard said.
KFC's commitment of $30,000 to help with the child's medical bills will not be affected by the investigation's outcome, Maynard said.
Attorney Bill Kellum, who represents the family of Victoria Wilcher, said a statement would be issued later Tuesday.
Allegations that the child was asked to leave the restaurant were made earlier this month on the Facebook site Victoria's Victories, which has followed the child's recovery from the attack. KFC posted an apology the next morning and asked for more details about what happened.
Teri Rials Bates, the child's aunt, runs the Victoria's Victories Facebook page.
"I promise it's not a hoax, I never thought any of this would blow up the way it has," a post said. "I have personally watched this family go without to provide for Victoria. They have not and would not do anything to hurt Victoria in any way."
No one immediately responded to a message sent through the Facebook page.
Earlier, the child's grandmother, Kelly Mullins, told Jackson television station WAPT-TV that the child had just been to a doctor and stopped at the restaurant. After they ordered, an employee approached, she said.
"They just told us, they said, We have to ask you to leave because her face is disrupting our customers,'" Mullins told the TV station.
In her posts, Bates said the child was attacked by three pit bulls while visiting her grandfather in April. Since then, she has undergone reconstructive surgery, Bates said.

2.3m children 'materially deprived'
Some 2.3 million children in the UK are living "materially deprived" lives but are not included in official Government statistics on poverty, according to a report.
This figure would double the 2.3 million children currently classed as living in poverty, under the official measure of having a household income less than 60% the median average.
The report from think tank Policy Exchange says that the existing financial threshold fails to take into account the impact on a child's life of issues like quality of housing, educational standards and whether he or she has been in the care system.
Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith is already consulting on a new measure of child poverty, to end the exclusive focus on income levels and reflect other aspects of what it means to grow up experiencing deep disadvantage.
Policy Exchange head of economics and social policy Matthew Oakley said the new measure should include factors including whether children are themselves parents; whether they live in temporary or poor-quality accommodation; if the family has unsustainable debts; and if the child has been taken into care, has criminal convictions or low educational attainment.
The report recommended the introduction of a new Child Poverty Bill to replace the Child Poverty Act 2010, which commits the Government to ending child poverty. The new bill would measure social poverty as well as household income.
"The current measure of child poverty needs changing," said Mr Oakley. "Simply assessing whether a child is in poverty on the basis of household income fails to take into consideration a number of serious issues. It leads us to think we are improving outcomes for children when in fact they can still be living severely deprived lives.
"A new measure, focused on income as well as factors such as the quality of housing and level of education, would likely increase the number of children in poverty. However, it would allow the Government to focus policy solutions on improving outcomes both now and in the future for deprived children rather than simply masking the problem with state handouts that do nothing to get to the root of the poverty problem."
Government spent £170 billion between 2003 and 2010 trying to lift children out of poverty, but the targets forced politicians to focus on short-term income redistribution, rather than trying to help and support parents into employment or higher wage jobs, said the report.
Responding to the report, Mr Duncan Smith said: "This is exactly why we are consulting on a wider measure to capture the root causes of poverty, which include worklessness, educational failure and family breakdown. It is not just about money. Despite billions of pounds being paid out in tax credits in the past decade, the focus on income alone has not transformed people's lives. To have any real impact on tackling child poverty, we have to have a better understanding of what it means to live in poverty in the first place."

Despite the fact that no one in Gemini Club is actually a gemini by birth, a section on geminitraits.org that discusses the personality traits common to the star sign reads as if it could be describing the effect of the trio's dance-rock output. For example: "They are almost always the ones who make an event a particularly lively occasion."
Bandmates Tom Gavin, 28, and Dan Brunelle, 25, (both of Wicker Park) and Gordon Bramli, 25, (of West Town) have been making electronic music together for about three years. They perform at Lincoln Hall this weekend in support of their latest EP, "Here We Sit," a pulsating effort that should appeal to fans of now-defunct LCD Soundsystem. By phone, the bandmates opened up about their dance skills (or lack thereof), a particularly harrowing experience with the paranormal and why no two shows are ever the same
The new EP is called "Here We Sit," yet it sounds designed almost exclusively for movement.
Tom Gavin: Everybody always has these questions about what's going on with us. They want to know, "What's up with the computers? What's up with Gordon's rig? Is it electronic? Is this a real band?" And this was just kind of our statement. It was like, "Here it is. This is where we're at right now."
Considering the style of music you make, how would you rate your abilities as dancers?
Gavin: (Laughs) As dancers? Dan is the best dancer in the band. I kind of just scramble around up there.
Dan Brunelle: Gordon has some pretty nifty DJ hand moves.
Gordon Bramli: Yeah, I've got the Swedish Mafia 101 look (laughs). We're terrible dancers all around, I think.
Gavin: That's kind of why you became a DJ, right? Because you can't dance.
Most of you come from more rock-oriented backgrounds. What inspired you to pursue an electronic sound with this band?
Brunelle: I've been into electronic music since I was a little kid, like, I used the MTV Music Generator on Playstation when I was 11 years old. Gordon is the same way. I guess it was something where I never saw those two things aligning. There was the stuff I did on my laptop and then the stuff I did with a live band. Then somewhere between all the geeky, YouTube gear-demo videos and Justice and LCD Soundsystem, live electronics started to become really interesting. I think we saw potential for a laptop-oriented performance to come across in that same visceral way a rock band does.
Is it true Gemini Club shows are like snowflakes, in that no two are completely alike?
Brunelle: Yes, there's a lot of room for experimentation and improvisation. The main thing we want to get across is nothing is automatic. We want to make sure that absolutely everything is happening in real time.
Gavin: That's why we turn our keyboards outwards. If you go to the show the keyboards are angled out towards the audience, so if Gordon launches a clip everybody sees it. We want people to know it's a very high-risk scenario we put ourselves in.
You put out a single called "Ghost." Have any of you ever had an encounter with the paranormal?
Gavin: (Laughs) Once when I was a kid I thought I saw a ghost in the hallway.
Brunelle: I have a ghost story.
Gavin: You do?
Brunelle: This is when I was a kid in high school. I was up in my room--probably playing video games--and I heard a clatter downstairs. So I go running down there and a can of wood stain that was up on this very high shelf had somehow fallen off and it was just everywhere in the room. It looked like someone had pulled it off the shelf and shaken it all around. It was on the ceiling and the floors and every wall. To this day I have no clue what the hell happened. My parents thought I did it, and I had to explain to them it was a ghost (laughs).
I bet you actually did it, and now you're just trying to get that lie in print so you can show it to your folks like, "See!"
Brunelle: (Laughs) "I'm clean! See, it's printed, pops!" No, I swear to god I think that house was haunted.

Gemini Club personality test
What's the last album you bought?
Gavin: "With real money? Or with bit torrent money? The new Beach House record, 'Bloom'"
Song you've listened to on repeat recently?
Gavin: "Lana Del Rey over and over. I just discovered that song."
Brunelle: "That's an artist. Not a song. It's 'Video Games.'"
Song you never want to hear again?
Gavin: "Rebecca Black's 'Friday'"
Best concert you've seen in the last year?
Gavin: "I saw A Place to Bury Strangers recently at Empty Bottle and that was sweet."
Bramli: "Or a local band, Vamos, they're pretty good."
Brunelle: "Netherfriends is really awesome, too."
New band you don't know personally that deserves to be big?
Brunelle: "I mean, we just met them down at South by Southwest, but the Burning Hotels from Fort Worth, Texas are sweet and they should be big."
Favorite movie ever?
Brunelle: "2001: A Space Odyssey"
Gavin: "That's mine, too, actually."
Chicago's best music venue?
Gavin: "Lincoln Hall."

I am looking for somebody who has knowledge about tracking installs for an application. The installs come from various sources and I need to know what source works best. Basically it will come down to adding a parameter to the install file and inserting the parameter into web links. Clicking the links or registering through a link will add value to the user.
I need somebody who has knowledge in this field and who gives more importance to completing the job then just getting money.
If you think this is something for you, please contact me asap.

Implementing Inexpensive Multiple SSID Networks: Part II
December 04, 2007
Step-by-step instruction on how to set up multiple SSIDs using DD-WRT and your basic home router.
In the first part of this tutorial series, we discussed the two different multiple or virtual SSID methods. We also touched on the availability of these features in off-the-shelf APs from popular hardware manufactures. We concluded by discussing the installation of DD-WRT, a firmware replacement for many popular wireless routers, which now embraces the multiple SSID feature.
Now, well step you through exactly how to set up multiple SSIDs with DD-WRT.
Logging into your DD-WRT router
After successfully flashing your router with the DD-WRT firmware, you can log on to the DD-WRT Web-based configuration screen by following these steps:
- Bring up your Web browser.
- Type the IP address of your router into the browser. (By default, DD-WRT uses 192.168.1.1.)
- After you click on a page/section of the DD-WRT configuration utility, youll be prompted to enter the (default) login credentials:
· Username: root
· Password: admin
Now you can configure your router for your particular needs. Feel free to set up your main SSID, labeled as Physical Interface wl0 on the Wireless page, as you would like, but you should leave the network configuration as Bridged.
You can also configure your Internet connection, wireless, and other generic settings. These should be similar to what you did with your original router. Once youre ready, you can configure the additional SSIDs by moving to the next section.

DailyDirt: Journalism FAIL
from the urls-we-dig-up dept
- Jonah Lehrer, who had blogged for Wired for several years and was recently hired (and then fired) by The New Yorker, reportedly fabricated quotes and recycled or outright plagiarized parts of articles. While Wired had initially agreed to keep Lehrer on as a features writer, after carefully examining a number of his posts, the magazine just recently decided to end its relationship with him due to his failure to "meet WIRED editorial standards" or to "follow basic good journalism practices." [url]
- Ryan Holiday, marketing director at American Apparel, calls himself a "media manipulator." He wrote a book called "Trust Me, I'm Lying" on how to exploit the media by lying. Even worse, he used Help a Reporter Out (HARO) and pretended to be an expert on pretty much everything -- by lying, of course -- and managed to fool reporters from MSNBC, ABC News, CBS, The New York Times, and more. He claims it was all part of an experiment. [url]
- Margaret Wente has been accused of plagiarism -- copying the words of another Canadian columnist for her own article in 2009 about genetically modified foods in Africa. She has responded to the allegations, but her employers have also disciplined her (without revealing the details of her punishment and obviously not firing her). [url]
- Poynter.org has a wrap-up of the year's journalistic failings (so far) -- which it calls Journalism's Summer of Sin -- and it prescribes some measures for news organizations to prevent (and deal with) plagiarism and fabrication. The year isn't over, though, so place your bets on how many more journalistic fumbles will occur before 2013. [url]

Android Market is growing by leaps and bounds almost daily. Market is growing so quickly it can often be a challenge to find the good applications from the bad. Here is a list of 10 applications that I have found worth keeping. Hopefully you will find an application or two you haven't heard of and find useful. Please feel free to leave comments for other free applications worth our time.
Pkt Auctions
OK, granted this is the only eBay applications but it is still worth a look if you spend any time at all on eBay. I'm not spending nearly as much time on eBay as I once did but I much prefer this application to eBay's mobile site. The interface is straightforward and breaks up the listing in such a way that makes browsing even a large number of listings a breeze. If you want to see the original list, Pkt Auctions will display it as well.
Any Clip
This application works in concert with an iGoogle widget of their own web site. When first using Any Clip it gives you a special code to input on the Any Clip site and the iGoogle widget. This code links the web and mobile applications together. What is so special about this application is it simply pushes notes to the mobile device. Those notes can be anything. A few ideas that come to mind are URLs, email addresses, phone numbers, shopping lists, to-dos, Wi-Fi Keys and more.
Contacts Clean-Up
Perhaps I'm a little OCD about my contacts but I like having uniform format across all of my contacts. There aren't many tools to help me in that endeavor for Google Contacts but this one at least cleans up the phone numbers. You can format the numbers four different ways, preview the changes and then apply and re-run as needed for new contacts. The whole process is very quick, less than a minute for nearly 400 contacts. Contacts Clean-Up hasn't messed with any of the International numbers I have for some contacts, so you need not worry about those. I'd venture to say this app may only work for +1 (US/Canada/Caribbean) formatted numbers.
PingDroid is a Ping.fm client for Android. Ping.fm allows for easy updating to an ever growing number of social networks and other services, including posting to blogs. I've had the chance to get a sneak peak at the next release which will include support for bit.ly and tr.im in addition to Ping.fm's own URL shortener service. One additional new feature will be the ability to select PingDroid from the browser through the menu and Share this page. I've been playing with these new features and I really like them a lot. PingDroid loads faster than Ping.fm's own mobile site with a simple GUI negating the need to remember any special formatted commands to use via IM.
Night Clock
Night Clock is a real no nonsense alarm clock that does what it does without all the fancy bells and whistles. When launched Night Clock uses the entire screen in landscape mode. Long press the speaker icon to set the alarm clock. I love how the alarm is programmed; simply drag your finger left or right to adjust the alarm time. Use your own audio files for your alarm sound. To turn off the alarm just exit the application. I do wish the font of the clock took up more real estate on the screen. I like this app because it has been dependable and while it may not have as many options or settings it just works. It also serves well as a night time bedside clock.
I like having the added security of screen lock enabled but it annoys me when it enables every time the screen goes dark. AutoLock solves the problem by allowing you to set the time frame before the screen lock becomes active. For quick screen locking enable the Home screen Lock option in settings. A Lock icon will appear on the home screen, select the icon and press the End key to lock the screen immediately.
I'm the first to admit the G1′s camera isn't what I'd expect from a mobile device released in 2008, nevertheless for the pictures I do take I want a way to send them out somewhere. PixelPipe supports sending images to a number of sites such a Twitpic, Flickr, blogs and more. Better still, PixelPipe works on a number of different platforms including S60, Windows Mobile, and even via email for the platform agnostic among us. PixelPipe's delivery of images is speedy and very reliable.
Weather is a small, a mere 265kb, weather application. Weather supports multiple cities with a simple slide to either the left or right to scroll through your cities. Weather's configuration is straight forward without a lot of flare giving the highs and lows along with a small graphic for several days. For more in-depth detail Weather takes you to Weather Underground's mobile site. So many weather applications are loaded down with graphics and try to bring every detail of the weather to your handset. What you usually need to know can be covered with high's, low's and a small graphic depicting the day's outlook. Similar to Night Clock, the less is more approach works well for this application.
SMS Backup
Who among us hasn't wanted to save SMS from time to time? Thanks to SMS Backup not only can you save some of your SMS, you can save them all. By enabling IMAP for your Gmail account, SMS Backup will upload your SMS to Gmail to read, forward and search as if it were any other email sent or received. I love being able to find messages when I need them. No longer do I need to keep a large volume of messages on my device when I can view them anytime right along with my email. Google Apps users: SMS Backup works for your email accounts too.
Locale has a lot of options to change everything from Display to Wireless settings. There are several applications that allow easy profile settings but most are a manual process. Locale takes profile settings further and enables profiles based on location. It uses either GPS or Wireless GPS to determine the device's location and then changes profiles accordingly. With Locale I have profiles for home, work and other locations and almost never open Locale. Locale has a couple plug-ins with an API in the works to allow others to create their own plug-ins. Locale has released two plug-ins thus far: Twitter and SMS. Both send messages to either Twitter or via SMS. I've used a lot of different profile managers over the years on a number of different platforms and I can easily say Locale is among the best.

Anyone give details to me why an purpose for a latest present account - and particularly with NO overdraft capability - means my credit attain takes a hit?

Foucault live: (interviews, 1961-1984)
Semiotext(e), Jan 1, 1996 - Literary Criticism - 478 pages
Currently in its fourth printing, Foucault Live is the most accessible and exhaustive introduction to Foucault's thought to date. Composed of every extant interview made by Foucault from the mid-60s until his death in 1984, Foucault Live sheds new light on the philosopher's ideas about friendship, the intent behind his classical studies, while clarifying many of the professional and popular misinterpretations of his ideas over the course of his career. As Gilles Deleuze noted, "the interviews in this book go much further than anything Foucault ever wrote, and they are indispensable in understanding his life work." Most notably, Foucault Live includes interviews he made with the gay underground press during his stays in America during the 1970s. In them, Foucault suggests that homosexuality presents a new paradigm for ways of living beyond the predictable, binary couple. All of the philosopher's interests, from madness and delinquency to film and sexuality, and their resultant writings, are probed by knowledgeable critics and journalists. After reading this book, the reader can explore key notions such as episteme, savoir and connaissance, archeology, and archive, without the knitted brow that plagued Foucault's public when he was alive. This is the guide to Foucault's life as an agent provocateur in the world of philosophy and scholarship.

Legislative panel discusses Oregon sales tax measure
By JONATHAN J. COOPER
Of the Associated Press
SALEM — Oregon voters have rejected a sales tax nine times in the past eight decades. Some in the Oregon Legislature hope the 10th try will be the charm.
A state Senate committee on Monday discussed a resolution asking voters to create a 5 percent tax on goods and services as part of a proposal to overhaul Oregon's volatile taxation system. A sales tax would be accompanied by a cut in income taxes and other revenue sources.
Proponents say they're starting a discussion and don't expect the Legislature to put it on the ballot this year.
Nearly 70 percent of state government revenue comes from the personal income tax, which rises and falls sharply with the economy. Supporters say a sales tax in conjunction with other changes to the tax code would diversify Oregon's revenue sources and make the system more stable.
"It's time for a full-scale, top-to-bottom restructuring of our tax scale," said Sen. Mark Hass, D-Beaverton.
Some critics say a sales tax would harm low-income taxpayers, who spend a larger share of their income on consumption. Others say Oregonians of all incomes already pay too much in taxes.
"We're just getting squeezed," Roxanne Ross, of Gresham, told the Senate Finance and Revenue Committee.
The plan was put forward by three Democrats: Hass, Sen. Ginny Burdick of Portland, and Rep. Tobias Read of Beaverton. It would reduce property and income taxes, and create new tax credits aimed at business investment and low-income workers.
The proposed sales tax would go farther than most others states with consumption taxes, assessing services, not just tangible goods. Supporters say taxing services would make their plan more equitable because higher-income taxpayers spend more money on services.
Separately, Gov. John Kitzhaber is working with business groups and labor unions in an attempt to craft a tax-system overhaul that both groups — and their formidable campaign machineries — could get behind. The group is working with political consultants to take the temperature of the electorate and could produce a ballot measure for 2014 of 2016.
Kitzhaber, a Democrat, said lawmakers first need to address the rising cost of prisons and pension benefits for retired government workers.
"I think it's going to be difficult to convince people to support generating significant new tax revenues when a significant portion of that isn't going to go into the classroom, isn't going to important public services," Kitzhaber said.
The governor didn't take a position on the legislators' proposal and was careful to point out that it's too soon to know whether a sales tax would be part of a tax overhaul that reaches the ballot.
Sen. Larry George, R-Sherwood, said voters need confidence that the Legislature won't let spending grow unchecked. He suggested the proposal include some form of spending limitation to boost voters' confidence with the plan.
The committee will hear more public testimony Wednesday.

Rugby HQ's Top 5 Set Piece Tries of all time
Sean Maloney and the team at Rugby HQ have been churning out the Top 5 segments of late, providing the fans with a whole host of classic moments that, while they're often from an Australian angle, are still great fun to watch for neutrals.
In the latest instalment it's a look at some of the best setpiece tries ever scored down south.
In the list of five there is one try in particular that's the stand out, and arguably the best setpiece try from a lineout ever, anywhere. It surprisingly only comes in at number two though.
The try in question is the Christian Cullen All Black masterpiece in the Tri Nations in 2000. It featured multiple players, dummy runners, and quick hands, and ended with Cullen dotting down.
It was another classic match between the two great sides, and despite the incredible try, the Wallabies won the game in dramatic fashion as lock John Eales slotted an extra time penalty to win the game 24-23 and retain the Bledisloe Cup.
One of the other interesting tries featured is Breyton Paulse's in 2005, which included his trademark flick-flack. Paulse first did the celebration on his debut vs Italy in 1999.
He later explained that it wasn't planned at all, but was just the first thing that came to mind as his family was there and he was beaming with joy. After that he did it on a few other big occasions, but said that despite doing a bit of gymnastics at school, the experts were probably laughing at him each time, as his legs were often hopelessly crooked as he went through the air.
He cited his first ever, in that game against Italy in Port Elizabeth, as the best.
Gymnastics aside, all of these tries are well worth watching, and there is also an amusing quick chat with in studio guest Drew Mitchell, who will be joining Toulon in France at the end of the season.
EXTRA: Rugby HQ were kind enough to share the other five contenders too, tries 6-10

While success in graduate-school interviews can be greatly helped by experience, educating one's self and preparing mentally are very important. As in many areas of life, being admitted can also be a matter of luck; that is, you may be interviewed by someone who clicks with your style, interests, background or experience.
The more informed you are about the various nuances of the process, the less anxiety- producing it will be. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to describe an array of areas that touch upon this process. Former students who have been through the interview process often circulate well-meaning interview stories, but these stories may frighten those who are about to enter the process. Just remember that these are anecdotal experiences, and, in all likelihood, you will not encounter the same set of circumstances or have the same kind of experience. So the point is, take the "grapevine" information with a grain of salt. Some colleges keep reference materials on each graduate school's interviewing process, including lists of standard questions that have been asked of students. This may be useful, so check with your advisor's office to see whether any such materials exist. The opinions of others regarding the school may be very helpful as you develop your own list of what to look for at that institution on the day you visit.
Most students are quite surprised to find that interviews tend to be highly conversational, and the interviewer's purpose seems to be to get to know the student. However, you should be prepared for anything; group interviews and two interviewers to one student are not unheard of, but you'll usually encounter the one-on-one situation. Interviews typically last anywhere from 20 minutes to 90 minutes. Most schools will have from one to four interviews. Many schools will have as one of their interviews a meeting with the admissions dean or someone else who will be asked to assess the student's academic record as well as his/her personal attributes.
It is advisable to know the basic facts about the school prior to arriving there for the day of interviews. Helpful information might include such things as size, relationship to the college campus, etc. Use the following checklist to gather your data.
Make an index card on each school, and as you go from interview to interview, write appropriate details on the reverse side of the card for future reference. If you do a lot of interviews, things tend to blur after a few months. Always seek out students at the school, and check their answers with those of faculty interviewers. Develop your own rating system and give the school points on the various areas.
The two major areas in which schools seek information are personality and capability.
Interviews for graduate school serve four main purposes:
Applicants should take note that three out of the four purposes stated here center on meeting the student's needs. So relax, do your best and have fun.
The majority of schools use a structured interview; that is, they have identified important areas around which they will attempt to gather information about the student. While the following list is not intended to be exhaustive, it covers more than 80 percent of the information that is being sought. Use it as a reference guide to think about these areas in relation to yourself, and try to assess ways in which questions may be posed to you to cover these areas.
What does the candidate know about his/her chosen career? Is the student's knowledge base coming from family, friends, personal experience or reading? How realistic is the understanding? What is the level of awareness of the changes in graduate work today? What other professions have been ruled out in coming to this choice?
How has the student tested out his/her interest in graduate work? What level of responsibility has the student assumed for others? Can a student describe the values that he or she possesses that will sustain motivation in difficult times? Who are the role models that have been most significant in influencing the choice of graduate work? Is there anything that, if it changed dramatically, would cause a student to lose interest in graduate work?
Appearance, poise, confidence, ability to communicate, sense of humor and proper use of the English language will all be assessed by the interviewer. Interviewers will pay particular attention to emotional stability, including making an attempt to discern unresolved personal problems. They will seek to gain a better understanding of family dynamics for each student, and will try to discover the nature of relationships among students, parents and siblings. Interviewers will want to know if a student is emancipated from his/her family, and will explore students' level of maturity and degree of development of empathy skills. They will seek to understand the students' operating style, will want to know whether tolerance for diversity has been manifested through life experiences, and will explore whether students are sufficiently flexible to manage the substantial changes that lie ahead.
How informed is the candidate about local and national issues? Has the student taken a stance on any area of social concern? What is the student's level of awareness of some of the important ethical issues facing us today? Has the student ever acted upon his or her political or social conscience?
If you wanted to convince someone that you are conscientious, how would you go about it? Caring and compassion should be qualities that are exhibited daily toward others. Are you willing to take a risk that might benefit a colleague or friend? What are your feelings about your abilities to be compassionate, yet remain sufficiently objective, thus not incapacitating yourself by becoming overly involved?
Having the interviewer ask the question is one-half the equation; the other is your response. What is the interviewer looking for in what you provide? In all likelihood, your interviewer will be experienced, and it is important that you assume that this will be the case. When considering important aspects of what makes a good graduate student, interviewers are likely to be looking for insights that help affirm or deny a particular attribute.
Some of the following areas are the guideposts from which they view a "good graduate student."
How interested is the student in others? What does his/her track record indicate? Do the student's goals include expressions of wanting to serve others? Interviewers will attempt to determine your degree of courage to persevere during difficult times.
Good graduate students make friends easily and enjoy positive interactions with others. They are able to work independently as well as collaboratively. They are able to value the contributions of others. Good graduate students will always be sensitive to the needs of others and will take others into account in their actions.
Good graduate students enjoy solving problems and have good aptitude for it. Discipline and order are key prerequisites to success in graduate school. It is critical for a good graduate student to have high standards and the integrity to know when to seek help. Understanding whether the student exhibits integrity in his/her value system is key for graduate-school interviewers.
Questions will most often be presented in an open-ended, abstract manner; that is, few can be answered by a yes/no response. When the question is asked, if you don't understand it, seek clarification.
Interviewers will be assessing whether your thinking style is more abstract or concrete in nature. Other areas that interviewers will assess include:
What gets the student into trouble with an interviewer? First of all, how does the student see life? Does s/he take the "glass is half-full" approach, or the "glass is half-empty"? What is the degree of compulsiveness, which might lead the student to reveal too much about himself/herself? Interviewers will attempt to determine if there is pomposity, arrogance, anger or hatred toward institutions or individuals that would get in the student's way of succeeding. How strong are the student's religious beliefs? Might they override a willingness to accept responsibility for personal actions? On the positive side, can the student be described as someone who has initiative (a high level of intellectual curiosity), and what examples exist? Has the student participated in rigorous academic activities that speak of a willingness to take an academic risk? How can the interviewer know that a student can handle multiple, and often competing, demands, so that s/he can learn the importance of being able to set priorities? Can a student discuss a meaningful life problem?
The interviewer's main focus in assessing your academic characteristics is to determine whether you can handle a rigorous program at her/his school. Interviewers know that if a student is not assessed properly, s/he could wind up failing at that school. This is contrary to the desires of most schools; most want their students to succeed. When reviewing your own academic record prior to the interview, think about questions that are likely to arise, such as (1) If there were quarters/semesters during your undergraduate career when your total hours were low, what were the reasons? (2) If you received low grades, were there extenuating circumstances? (3) How have you done overall in your school's required science courses? (4) If your transcript includes withdrawals, incompletes or course repeats, what were the circumstances? (5) When asked about a difficult course from your academic program, can you provide evidence of resourcefulness in the face of adversity? (6) Is there any discrepancy between your undergraduate grades and your GRE score? If so, what accounts for this? (7) If you posted a low verbal or writing-sample score, what does this mean from your perspective?
Graduate schools have a pretty good perception of what your academic record indicates about your potential to be a successful graduate student.
Keep the following list in mind as you answer questions about your academic record.
Interviewers will often ask questions that are of an ethical nature. Typically, these are posed in the form of a hypothetical situation. Some of the scenarios described may be considerably out of the realm of the student's experience, but remember that the interviewer is not so much interested in determining a right or wrong response, but will be looking for how you develop the framework of the response, what experiences you bring to bear in your answer, how your values and beliefs fit into what you say, and how deeply you hold your convictions. If interviewers challenge you, they will be looking to see if you quickly capitulate to their view or whether you can back up why you believe what you do. A word of advice: Don't ever get into an argument with the interviewer. You will lose.
If you get asked an "illegal" question, what do you do? It helps to know which questions are considered illegal first, and then to construct a response. Questions that focus on a person's race, religion, sexual orientation, position on abortion or family planning, marital status, age, possible physical/mental disability or learning disability cannot legally be asked by an interviewer. Such a question might be phrased as follows: "How do you plan to manage your roles as wife, mother and student?" "Why are you considering graduate school at your age?" "Tell me about your religious beliefs." One method of responding to such questions is to say that though you understand the question may be illegal, you are happy to try to answer. There is a certain risk in doing this; it depends on how you feel about answering the question.
Interviewing properly is a complicated matter. Knowing the reason behind the method of interviewing will increase your level of comfort.
Here are some tips that you may wish to consider to make the interview go more smoothly. Think about them and practice them:
I recently completed my first grad school interview, and it was definitely an experience worth writing about. Of course, every interview is different, but here's some advice based on my own experience.
First and foremost, you should never be afraid to ask questions (even ones you think might be stupid) during your interview and even in the days leading up to it. If I hadn't called ahead to ask about suitable attire, I never would have known that the school I visited didn't want me to wear a tie, let alone a suit or jacket of any kind.
Research helps you to avoid "stupid" questions that might throw you out of the applicant pool. Especially if you know beforehand which faculty members you'll be interviewing with, do a little research before meeting with them. Life histories aren't necessary, but at least familiarize your self with your interviewers' areas of expertise. This is important because their research (or how your interests match theirs) will come up. Don't be caught off guard. Be prepared to make a comment or two.
Rehearse your answers to commonly asked interview questions. You'll feel more comfortable answering questions during the interview. The more comfortable you are, the more likely that you'll be able to think clearly, and you'll appear controlled and mature (always a good thing!). Rehearse in front of a mirror, so that you can see what your interviewer will. Also, a word of warning: people don't enjoy talking to a robot, complete with pre-programmed answers. It's fine to rehearse, just make sure that during the real thing you don't come across like you're reading from a script.
Finally, if you are confronted with a question that you're not prepared for, there is nothing wrong with asking for a moment to think about your answer. Interviewers will respect you for taking a moment to compose an answer instead of just blurting something out to avoid being silent. It shows that you really want to give the best answer you can instead of just anything that comes to mind.
In my opening, I said that my personal experience was something worth writing about, and I meant it. The University of Texas-Southwestern in Dallas showed me a truly great time, enough so that I've accepted their offer of admission. I felt welcome and at ease the entire weekend, and dare I say it, I actually had fun while I was there. They wanted to know who I was as a person, not as a transcript and test scores (thank God for that, my transcript is a little sketchy), and all my interviews were of a more personal than technical nature. I hope all of your interviews go as smoothly.

"Emotional Violence for Dummies" was the alternate title Cintra Wilson gave to the film "Mystic River." Writing in Salon.com, she said that while Sean Penn is normally a great actor, the role for which he won his Oscar was overwrought. "I've seen more skillfully calibrated grief at Super Bowl parties," Wilson mused. She speculated that the Academy was "playing catch-up ball," rewarding him for the better work he has done in previous movies. I'm guessing that you will soon have a similar experience, Leo. Like Penn, who was born in the sign of the Lion, you may get more credit or recognition than you seemingly deserve for your current efforts.

In an interview with the "Star," Beyonc� revealed that a character named Sasha takes over her body onstage. "There's no way I'd wear a short little dress and dance like that in front of all those people," she said. I bring this up, Virgo, because I'd like you to consider acquiring your own alternate personality. He or she could help you fulfill your current cosmic mandate, which is to climb to a rooftop or mountaintop or tabletop and do a song and dance dedicated to the person you want to be five years from today.

The placebo effect is a well-known but little understood phenomenon in medical science. Studies have shown that up to a third of all sick people feel better after receiving pills with no active ingredients. The reason may lie in the body's powerful instinct to participate in its own healing. When it believes help is on the way in the form of medication, it joins in by releasing endorphins, the natural opiates that induce relaxation and a sense of well-being. These thoughts lead me to my analysis of your astrological omens, Sagittarius: I believe that your current ailments, both physical and psychological, are exactly the kind that are most responsive to placebo cures. So load up! M&M's are effective, I've found, as are Pez candy and the little white pills contained in toy doctors' kits.
Need a few more whacks applied to your mental blocks in the coming week, Sagittarius? A few more caresses administered to your growing edge? Cruise on over to your Expanded Audio Horoscope. The reading costs $6.
Here's how cartoonist Matt Groening feels about love: "Love is a perky elf dancing a merry little jig and then suddenly he turns on you with a miniature machine gun." Here, on the other hand, is what composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart believed: "Neither a lofty degree of intelligence nor imagination nor both together go to the making of genius. Love, love, love, that is the soul of genius." My analysis of the astrological omens leads me to suspect that in the coming weeks your life will be a vivid embodiment of one of those two definitions, Capricorn. Which will win out? The outcome will have nothing to do with blind fate. It'll depend entirely on whether you choose to play romantic games or else devote yourself to the highest form of love you can imagine.
Got enough clues to chew on for a while, Capricorn? If you need more, give yourself the luxury of your Expanded Audio Horoscope for the coming week. The reading costs $6.
What if I told you that you can change the past? It's true, Aquarius. You now have power over your memories. It's a perfect moment to adjust them, correct them, and reconfigure them so they will serve you better in the future. You're also in a good position to declare your independence from old images that have been oppressing you. There's no need to feel trapped into being who you used to be if that's not who you are anymore.
Want to explore the coming week even further, Aquarius? Dig deeper? Feel stronger? Consider tuning in to your Expanded Audio Horoscope. The reading costs $6.
Last summer, three exhibitors at the Ohio State Fair tried to fool a panel of judges. The men glued hairpieces on their cows in an effort to hide the animals' sagging backs. But inspectors discovered the bovine toupees and disqualified the cheaters. Now if you Pisceans tried something like this in the coming week, you'd probably get away with it -- at least according to my analysis of the astrological omens. I don't recommend it, though. Ironically, you're far more likely to win competitions or succeed at challenges if you don't engage in subterfuge. Being honest and ethical will give you an unbeatable power you can't tap into any other way.

Business briefs: Biogen Idec, Novartis EuroPharm, Genentech
Biogen Idec reported that its experimental MS drug peginterferon-1a hit its Phase III target and the company expects to put the therapy up for regulatory scrutiny in the US and EU this year. The trial showed that the long-acting medication was effective when patients received it either twice a month or once a month, although the bi-monthly shot had a bit of an edge. ISI analyst Mark Schoenebaum wrote in a research note that an approval would give Biogen Idec a significant advantage in the MS marketplace because the dosing would be far less than that of competitors which currently require at least a weekly dose. He also pointed out that since a flu-like feeling is a common side effect, reducing the number of doses goes beyond convenience and is also a matter of patient comfort.
A call for additional data has prompted Novartis Europharm to pull its EMA application for PAH drug Ruvise. The company submitted in February 2012, but said in a statement that it could not deliver the additional data by the regulator's deadline.Genentech won FDA approval to couple Avastin with chemotherapy for metastatic colorectal cancer patients. The indication means patients can prolong their Avastin therapy beyond the initial treatment stage. The FDA approved the indication based on Phase III studies which showed the risk of death fell 19% and median overall survival was 11.2 months, compared to 9.8 months among patients who only used the drug with chemotherapy as a first-line treatment. The indication could provide an added sales boost to what is already Genentech's second-highest earner. The latest figures show the drug earned $3.4 billion in sales for the first six months of 2012 and $6 billion in 2011. The new indication also marks a claw-back of sorts: the FDA revoked its metastatic breast cancer indication in November 2011.
